HINTS SUGGESTED TO PIANISTES, BY IF you wish to possess a Piano-Forte of superior tone and touch, to stand well in tune, and to last for years, purchase one by Makers of long-established celebrity; others, for the most part, have their instruments made of unseasoned wood, by workmen on low wages, of little experience; the consequence is, that such Piano-Fortes, though tolerable at first, soon go out of tune, become imperfect in their tone and mechanism, greatly retard the skill of the professor, and invariably check the progress of the pupil. The only recommendation such instruments possess is gay looking cases. Have your Piano-Forte tuned at least four times in the year, by an experienced tuner; if yon allow it to go too long without tuning, it usually becomes flat, and troubles a tuner to get it to stand at concert pitch especially in the country. · Never place the instrument against an outside wall, or in a cold, or damp room, particularly in a country house; there is no greater enemy to a Piano-Forte than damp. Close the instrument immediately after your practice; by leaving· it open, dust fixes on the sound-board, and corrodes the movements, aud if in a damp. room, the strings soon rust. Should the Piano-Forte stand near, or opposite to a window, guard, if possible, against its being opened, especially on a wet or damp day ; and when the sun is on the window, draw the blind down. Avoid putting metallic or other articles on, or in the Piano-Forte; such things frequently cause unpleasant vibrations, and sometimes injure the instrument. The more equal the temperature of the room, and the less the soft pedal is used, the better the Piano will stand in tune. Piano-Forti Saloon, 2, Argyle Street, Bat!~; March, 1846.
